Stupid price guides Ok, I very much disagree with price guides, but teh guide is just going overboard. They have a "i wanna be cool and value items arbitrarily" option and a "supposedly artificially inflated" price. That's total bullshit especially considering they're valuing some of the items at what they're going for in the vend and some of the items higher than they're going for in the vend (Devil tail for example), while other ones (that they dont really like apparently) they're valuing at much lower than what they sell for now. I already very much dislike price guides as they try to control prices and influence noobs into selling for a lot lower than they could have. This one is just so hypocrytical though. I want the price to be this, so im going to give people the impression that the price should really be what i want it to be. Blah.....

	Once upon a time priceguides were at least somewhat reliable. Even if they were outdated, they were helpful to all. I havn't found a trustworthy guide in a really long time though sadly neutral If the guide runners aren't corrupting the guide to suite them, there are enough other people trying to manipulate the market that even if a guide is true to the "going prices", it's likely to be wrong because of the users who are buying/selling screwing things up. Just ugh, not worth dealing with anymore.
